Unless they didn't. You have no reason to make that assumption.

Yes you have. I've been trying to get an answer for a while, and you have posted in the meantime.

By allowing the father to have his child if he wishes. Simple.
No, not simple. Here are some complications:

How would the father know about the pregnancy? Would he have to be notified by law? How would his identity be determined? A mandatory DNA test before abortion?

How, if he wanted the child, would the woman be stopped from having an abortion? Would the woman need to bring a permission slip to the doctor? Would the doctor have to check a national registry of woman who are prohibited abortions for nine months?

What deterrant would there be? Prison? A fine?

In short, how would your law work? You're saying that the father ought to have a say in the decision. Most would agree, as a matter of personal interaction. But how could that preference be encoded into law?
